VANCOUVER, BC – Figure skating fans from all over the world gathered at the Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre for five days to witness the top figure skaters compete in the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final.  Those who were not at the event had their eyes glued to their TV’s watching the end of the 2018 season. Some of the world’s best like Nathan Chen (USA), Rika Kihira (JPN), pairs Vanessa James and Morgan Cipres (FRA), and Ice Dancers, Madison Hubbell and Zachary Donohue (USA) showcased why they remain near the top of the World Rankings winning both their respective categories. While 13-year old Canadian, Stephen Gogolev may have stolen the show, being crowned Junior Grand Prix Champion with an impressive final score. Overall, the amazing display of artistic skill from these athletes made for an exciting week at the University of British Columbia.
